"Ever since I heard that Sony was planning on launching "Heavy Rain" alongside the likes of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," "Splinter Cell: Conviction" and "Guitar Hero 5? I knew something needed to give. Sony learned a very important lesson last year, when "LittleBigPlanet" failed to reach sales expectations: Don't put your new franchises up against dozens of already-popular ones. "Heavy Rain" would undoubtedly be drowned in the crush of the holiday gaming season."
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look at 7 video games where dying doesn't mean the end, as the story and world simply continue on without you.
We present a list of horror games with depressing endings, each known for its unique experience and storytelling.
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
Yeah it was a smart move back then, but now the competition has risen for 2010
Also, When was MAG pushed to 2010??
it would be smart if heavy rain to come out may-june to advertise as a summer movie thriller. and considering how june & july are generally slow months it would be perfect for heavy rain to come out and not be overshadowed
and while you're at it, bring wkc this fall as well
